Basic Example

To get started with CFEngine, you can imagine the following template for entering examples. This part of the code is common to all the examples.

[%CFEngine_include_snippet(basic_example.cf, .* )%]

The general pattern

The general pattern of the syntax is like this (colors in html version: red, CFEngine word; blue, user-defined word):

```cf3 bundle component name(parameters) { what_type: where_when::

# Traditional comment

“promiser” -> { “promisee1”, “promisee2” }, comment => “The intention …”, handle => “unique_id_label”, attribute1 => body_or_value1, attribute2 => body_or_value2; } ```

Hello world

[%CFEngine_include_snippet(hello_world.cf, .* )%]

Array example

[%CFEngine_include_snippet(array_example.cf, .* )%]
